In each case, we consider only current laws and regulations.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/outlooks\/ieo\/narrative\/index.php#AppendixACasedescript\">The Low Zero-Carbon Technology Cost case<\/a> assumes a more rapid cost decline compared with the Reference case: a subset of zero-carbon technologies\u2014wind, solar, battery storage, and nuclear\u2014reach 40 per cent lower costs by 2050. The High Zero-Carbon Technology Cost case assumes no cost reduction from 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Electricity generation using zero-carbon technology grows most rapidly in OAS in the Low Zero-Carbon Technology Cost case, indicating stronger growth when technology costs are lower than in other projected cases. Fossil fuel generation was lowest in this case.<\/p>\n<p>Even though OAS contributed less than 7 per cent of global electric power sector CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions in 2022, we project its share could rise to 12 per cent\u201314 per cent by 2050. Electric power sector CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions in this region stabilize starting in the 2030s in the Low Zero-Carbon Technology Cost case; in all other cases, they continue to increase.<\/p>\n<p>The trajectories for electricity generation growth diverge from 2030 onward in our cases. In the Low Zero-Carbon Technology Cost case, increases in zero-carbon technology generation alone meet almost all the additional electricity demand between 2030 and 2050. Conversely, in the Reference and High Zero-Carbon Technology Cost cases, both zero-carbon technology and fossil fuel-fired generation continue to increase throughout the period.<\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/images\/2024.01.30\/chart3.svg\" alt=\"projected zero-carbon generating capacity and fossil fuel generating capacity in the Other Asia-Pacific region\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Data source:\u00a0<\/strong>U.S. Energy Information Administration,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/outlooks\/ieo\/narrative\/index.php\">International Energy Outlook 2023<\/a>\u00a0(IEO2023), Appendix C<\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Note:\u00a0<\/strong>Values for 2020\u201321 are historical data; values for 2022\u201350 are projections.<\/em><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Capacity of zero-carbon technologies in the OAS region varies notably across cases, and we project it will be nearly five times larger in 2050 compared with 2022 in the Low Zero-Carbon Technology Cost case.<\/p>\n<p>Across all cases, we project that 88 per cent \u2013 95 per cent of the new zero-carbon capacity that is built through 2050 is solar, wind, and hydroelectricity, 5 per cent\u201311 per cent is battery storage, and less than 1 per cent is nuclear.
